We'd like to go with our 3 children (ages 8,6,4) to Southern Vermont for 5 days in December, before Christmas. We'd like a town that has a some resort feel (restaurants, tubing, ice sakting, sledding, etc) and is not terribly far from New York. Any suggestions?

You will need to check out the area that has snowmaking capacity.
Killington: Too crowded
Okemo: Nicer resort area for the family.
Stowe: Too far north. But the best of the bunch!
Your still looking at 5-7 hour drives

Okemo is the best area in southern VT. Nice town (Ludlow), good snow making, great family area.
I won't go to Okemo before Jan, especially this year, unless something drastically changes in the weather. I've hit better conditions at Killington. With that said, I wouldn't plan a 5 day trip with family anywhere in December if at all possible, too early in the season.
Manchester, VT is awesome. Okemo is really good too and the town of Ludlow is very charming with lots of restaurants and shops.
